    So, Microsoft's official logo is now the older Windows logo only in Metro form?

    A bit confusing that. I can already see people associating Windows to XBOX and other Microsoft products.


    You clearly have forgotten about the older Windows logo. :lol:

    Most likely. :lol:


    Google is shoved down our throats so much these days that it's hard to not correlate between the colors of both logos.

    Microsoft actually banned the term "Metro" and will remove any apps that is labeled as such in their store. :lol:

    Also, I am of the opinion they should just ditch the name Windows altogether and rebrand everything as XBOX. I'm strange.

    Haha, that's fucking stupid. When I hear/read the word Metro, the first thing that comes to find is the new W8 styled things.

    Looks clean. Not sure how it's any different than what they've done in the past, though.

    Friend of mine has been using Win 8. Looks pretty good and he says that it's much better than Win 7.

    According to the internet, Windows 8 is a shitstorm on desktop/laptop computers. I don't like the sound of that as I'd take a desktop/laptop over a tablet anyday.

    That's because it has an interface designed for touch screen usage at the forefront. The usual interface (start menu, desktop icons) is there but it isn't the first thing the user is lead to when they log in.

    The casual, non-expert may be confused by this and the more experienced users find it unnecessary/excessive.

    You should try using Windows 7 with a touch-screen interface. It's horrible. ;P
